‘Huge Bounceback Win’: Breaking Apart Bruins’ OT Win in Buffalo

After one of their worst losses of the season, the Bruins responded by taking down the top team in the division a day later. The Boston Bruins (40-24-8) went down, then rallied back in the third period and overtime to pick up a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres (44-20-8) on Wednesday night at KeyBank Center. Pavel Zacha won the game in overtime, and David Pastrnak had a three-point night and is now at 90 this season.

Casey Mittelstadt said Tuesday’s loss was “one of our worst games of the year. ” “So, a huge bounceback win and, you know, against a really good team. Obviously, they’re playing really well, and we had to play hard and fight for it, but we got it done.

” The Sabres are the league’s best team since Jarmo Kekalainen took over as general manager on December 15. They have posted a 30-6-4 record since the front office change, and they are miles ahead of the next best team (Columbus, 25-9-5). “Yeah, we know how important this game was, and I think we just kept coming the whole game,” Zacha said after the game.

“Especially in the third period, we just never gave up and kind of came back in the game, and we know what we have in this locker room, the resilience. We kind of went through this, you know, must win games for so many games now. ” Zacha’s 24th goal of the season is his fourth game-winner this year.
